NEW DURHAM — The Governor Wentworth Regional School District deliberative session will be held this Saturday in Wolfeboro at the Kingswood Arts Center.

Article 5 of this year’s eight articles asks voters to decide whether $60,000 will be allocated for repairs or replacements of the Kingswood Regional High School artificial turf field. Article 6 addresses $150,000 for repairs and improvements to grounds at all schools, including the New Durham School.

Article 7 will ask voters whether to approve an operating budget set $47,176,610. If the article is defeated, the total will default ti last year’s final budget of $47,453,542.

Three articles will also address the collective bargaining agreement reached between the Governor Wentworth Regional School Board and the district’s Support Staff Association.

Elections will also be held this year at Town Meeting for a school board member from New Durham for a two-year term, from Effingham for a three-year term, from Ossipee for a three-year term and for a “school board member at large” also for a three-year term. A school district moderator will also be elected, to serve for one year.

Voting on these school warrant articles and the election of officers will take place, for New Durham voters, at the New Durham School on Tuesday, March 12, from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. For Wolfeboro voters, polling will be held in the undercroft of the All Saints Episcopal Church on that day from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
